Referring now more particularly to the drawslot'16 to adjust the positionjof the anvil body Aing wherein 'like numerals of reference indicate 'as desired Yand the Vinner surface of the recess corresponding parts throughoutthe several views, is provided witha series Aof transverse grooves the numeral lindicates generally the body of or other' markings such as are indicated by the l5 the present Atool which as shown is relatively Y numeral 19, by means of which different desired 110 comprising the beveled face 151 at the upper `end vto , clamp .-jaw 12.

`support a transverse pivot pin 23 upon which is mounted between the plates `a gear pinion 24. The ends of the pivot pin extend beyond the plates 22 and each has pivotally attached thereta one vend of a at link arm 25. .y ,Y .Y

Extended. into the chamber 4'frorn the bottom thereof which Aopens thruughfthel under side of thetool/body 1, is an end of a trigger handle 26. This end of the trigger handle ispivotally secured inthe chamber 4 .by. the. transverse 4pivot pin-.27 which has itsi'ends mounted in the side walls of the ehamberzasillust'r'ated.. At the top of the trigger handle dabove the pivot. pin 27 is a-laterally extended b furcated arm'28 between the Uurca.tons atftilieA orward endof which is rotatably mounted uponI a Vtransverse pivot a gearpinion29. Asshown this-gear pinion 29 is held at a. point in advance of. the pivotally secured endA of they trigger'handle 2.6 so that when the handle. is oscillated on its'pivot 27 ,the pinion 29 will be swung 'in an are centering about the pivot 27 yand as thispinion is in mesh with, the

pinion 24' which iscarried .by the shiftable jaw l2 it will be seen that in. swinging in its larcuate path it'will bear against the. pinion 2.4v and thus force the jaw- 12 forwardly.,

The upper endfo.. thetrigger handle 26 terminates in a transversely rounded fulcrum head 30 which positions in a suitably `formed recess 31 in the lower face of the plunger 9. At a point below the fulcrum head 30 andbetwen the same and the 4pivot 27,*the trigger handle carries-laterally extending trunnion 32 each of which isengaged in a slot 321Y formed longitudinally in adjacent end'of a link'me'mber 25. Interposed between the upper end of the trigger handle26 kbelow the pivot 27 andthe rear lwall of thebody lis a suitable spring 34 which normally forces vthe trigger handle 26. forwardly and thusretracts the plunger` rStand vthe shiftable i spring is, of course, compressed in the operation of the tool and thus in reacting draws .the parts Amentioned'back to their lnormal inoperativey positions.

The forward. portion ofl [the open 4lower side of the chamber.4 is closed by the removable plate 35 over thev forward portion of which the slidable jaw 12 moves., Y

' I In theoperation of the present tool the toothed edge of the saw isinserted in the usual manner in the slot 5v untilthe said toothed edge abuts the top of slot. After the anvil 15 has been adjusted to the desired position .the tooth to be set is located in front thereof by shifting the saw themproperfdirection and the tool is operated by drawing the trigger handle 26 back toward ,the xed handle 3. f

When the trigger handle is moved in the manner `described the bifurcated'gear carrying arm 28 will 'swing downwardly-in an arcuate path and thegear carried thereby will ride'over'and shove -forwardly against the shiftable jaw carried geary 2 4 thus moving the iawiorwardly into position againstthe bodyofythe saw and fclamping the same rmly in the` slot. 'Further compression of the trigger handle 26 will cause the gears to ride part way past one another and thus effect the further advance movement of the plunger 9 bringing the toothed end 10 thereof against the selected saw tooth and bending the latter over against the anvil 15. The approximate relative positions of the gears 24 and 29, when the shiftable jaw 12 hasengaged the saw body and before the plunger has operated against the saw tooth, are illustrated in Figure'2. The pivotal center of the swinging gear 29 will move further to a point slightly below the pivotal center of the gear 23 when the advancement of the plunger 9 is conltiriued to bend the saw tooth in the manner described.

Upon the release of the trigger handle 26 the liispringfi will operate to oscillate the handle back to its former position and the plunger 9 will be 5 withdrawn as will be readily apparent. During links will draw the shiftable jaw 12 back to its formerposition for the release of the saw body.

' FromA the foregoing'itwill be readily apparent that the mechanism herein described is of av novel character and that there is obtained by the present set the desirable gripping and holding of the saw body in advance of the action of the tooth setting element' so that movement or buckling of this saw while the plunger is advancing upon the tooth cannot occur'.
